Abstract
A computer method for creating optionality of price basis in a commodity contract includes establishing a smart contract for a transfer of a commodity using a distributed ledger and graphical user interface (GUI). The smart contract includes a variable price with a provision for a future determination of a price basis. The computer method includes receiving agreement on the smart contract between a seller and a counterparty, receiving a deposit on a total price from the counterparty, transferring at least a portion of the deposit to the seller, and transferring a token representing the smart contract to the counterparty. The computer method includes, at a future date, receiving a selection of the price basis for the smart contract from one of the counterparty or the seller, and notifying the other of the seller or the counterparty of the selected price basis and a resultant settlement price.
